The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the...

Hey!
Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good but inexpensive clothing brands for weight training? Also whether you prefer to lift in shorts or leggings? I had been training in leggings up until now, but ripped them squatting (happy about my gains, upset about the leggings).
Super...

Hey all,
I've got an awkward question for women here. Have you ever been a victim of prejudice (by men) for being a virgin? I was chatting with some guy a few days ago and got really surprised when he said that "virgins in middle/late 20s are rare, a virgin that old is either ugly af or there's...

I've been reading about the benefits of sitting in a sauna. I imagine it would feel good to sweat for 10 minutes like that.
Any of you guys use one? i'm debating changing gyms just so I can use a sauna but i hate to leave my mom and pop quiet gym. Is it worth it?

Hello. I am 24 years old weighing in at 131 lbs and I am 5'5. I gave birth to my first child last year then just recently gave birth to my second child this year. I used to have a slim stomach before my children and weighed 115 lbs. I am looking to lose belly fat then gain lean muscle. I need a...

Men never tell other men to smile and women never tell other women to smile. I'm completing some ordinary task and some guy tells me I need to smile...
New guy at work kept saying it today and asking why I wasn't talking. I was talking with some girls nearby him just prior to that and we were...

Well I've been sitting here wondering how all of the women on here have such huge boobs and such low body fat? Do you all have implants or is there a secret to firming them up but not completely losing them? I have pretty big ones right now and I know part of that is from excess weight cause at my...

Hey Ladies!
Just looking for some advice on comp prep.
I have a coach but I think it is invaluable to get extra help from current and former competitors considering I am new to this whole world of competing.
I am planning to compete in the Bikini Diva WBFF PRO/AM Gold Coast Show Australia on...

I've never purchased anything from gymshark but kinda considering it. If you have, what's your opinion on their products (maybe specifically about their various kinds of leggings)?
I train a powerlifting/bodybuilding style - I don't wear matching sets ever and I like to squat in the form that...

Ok, you gals that actually post in the regular Misc. section - how the fek do you make it through? On boring work days like this I look to see what's being posted and I cannot get through half those posts. I feel like I lose brain cells every time. Some posts are LOL worthy but just as many are...

She's starting up gym again and wants a good program catered to women, ie one that is both strength based and hypertrophy (essentially a powerbuilding program) with an emphasis on legs/butts of course - So with squats, deadlifts etc included.
Maybe a full body 3 times per week or an...

A friend from work. We had texted less than a week ago so it wasn't due to lack of contact.
I felt pretty offended. You delete people you don't want further contact with. If you do actually know who it is texting, you say that to get rid of someone - let them know how unimportant you are to...

Someone please give me ideas on this. I am tired of wasting money on crappy workout underwear that never stretches with me or is simply uncomfortable. I would love to find something comfy sans panty lines that is preferrable NOT a thong. I tried some boy short things but all they did was ride up my...

I was looking to spruce up my place and add some indoor plants. I was reading about how some plants improve air quality and may even be peaceful in some way in the bedroom for when you sleep. Maybe it's silly and nonsense, but I like the way they look too. Anyone have any? Which ones? I think Aloe...

So I'm here in Ft. Knox for a two week class and this SEMI-skinny fat girl shows up late to our class and whips out a fitness magazine during one of our breaks. This prompts me to strike up some fitness conversation to learn about her goals, her regimen, what I may be able to learn from her and...

I sweat quite a bit under my arms even when I'm not really hot... it's been difficult to find a deodorant/antiperspirant that actually works for me in general; but, I'd really also like to find one that is either "natural" or at the very least aluminum free. I tried Toms of Maine in the past and...

I've tried looking around a little for an explanation on this, but i didn't find one and am lost. Went to bed last night and I was green, got on after work today and I'm red. I was not mean or rude to anyone. Is this just because someone didn't like something I said? Is there a way to tell who...

Hi there!
I’m so naive to strength training but I want so badly to gain strength for Judo. Specifically my upper body.
I just have absolutely no idea where to start. I have once gotten a PT, but I don’t think he gave me a real plan..... it was very light and I grew out of it super quickly. ...

There is a man at the gym who I have a crush on. Every time I'v spoken to him I'm tounge tied and I blush. He must think I'm such a geek.
I have decided I love this gym crush and I will be keeping it that way.
It motivates me to get to the gym!! lol
